   Does climate influence wildfire activity?

   • Weather and climate play an important role in modulating wildfire activity. We explore the joint occurrence of global fire weather and meteorological drought using a compound events framework. We show that, for much of the globe, burned area increases when periods of heightened fire weather compound with dry antecedent conditions.

   How do climate and weather affect wildland fires?

   • Climate and weather greatly influence global wildland fire 1. Climate influences the type and distribution of vegetation (fuels), and weather is a main driver of regional fire activity 2, 3.

   How do Wildfires affect the environment?

   • Such hotter, drier weather has increased the scale, intensity, and frequency of destructive wildfires in many regions worldwide. Wildfires significantly impact people, ecosystems, and the climate. They affect air quality, impact forests, savannahs, and grasslands, and create hazards for the people and infrastructure surrounding them.

   Does wildfire smoke affect climate?

   • As fire season worsens, scientists are exploring a counterintuitive impact of wildfire smoke on the climate. Extreme heat often brings extreme wildfires, and this year is no exception, with unprecedented heat waves fueling enormous outbreaks of fires in the western United States and Canada, as well as across the Mediterranean and in Siberia.

   How do forest fires affect climate?

   • In return, forest fires feed back to climate by modulating land–atmospheric carbon, nitrogen, aerosol, energy and water fluxes6–8. However, the surface climate impacts of increasingly large fires and their implications for land management remain to be established.

   Does fire weather affect fire activity in the western US forests?

   • A particular wealth of studies have revealed the critical influence of fire weather on fire activity in the western US forests. The combination of fire weather indices with variables representing long-term moisture balance is often found to show strong predictive capacity in the region.
